Help-Dappled Willow leaves turning brown!
Comments (13)I hate to dredge up an old thread but I am having the same problem with my dappled willow. One half of it has turned brown and looks like it is dying. Actually I think it is dead. The other half if fine. This started last year and I thought it would recover, but no. I cut off all the dead branches and now have a weird looking half tree that looks healthy. The tree is in the middle of the yard. My only guess is maybe salt from shoveling the sidewalk, that gets piled near one side of the tree and not the other. But I would think salt in the soil would kill a whole plant not just kill half of it? There are lots of shoots coming from the trunk. I suppose I could start over rooting a new tree....See MoreHelp with training a Dappled Willow, please!
Comments (1)Sorry, didn't mean to post this in the Topiary section necessarily. If anyone has any suggestions, though, I'd appreciate it....See Moredappled willow shrub and septic tank
Comments (2)Not really a concern at all with a septic tank in good condition but could be a concern with the septic field. Non-grafted dappled willows are shrubs, not trees, and with a proportionally smaller and somewhat less aggressive root system. But they are water lovers. As long as your tank is in good condition and the shrubs are not too close (<20') you should be fine....See MoreStandard Dappled Willow
Comments (1)Despite the fact that it looks like a tree, it is really just a shrub grafted to a straight willow trunk. It will never get too much larger than it is now and does not present an aggressive root system. Your spacing should be OK. In its regular shrubby form, the dappled willow could get as much as 6' tall and 4-5' wide so you can expect the top grafted portion to attain a similar size without pruning. Will definitely require consistent pruning to keep the top in scale with the trunk....See Moreken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5
